Overview
Yonbo X1 is a ChatGPT companion aimed at children aged 4 and up, with an animated LCD face on a tilting neck and character personalities parents can tune in the app. At 3.2 kg and about 26 cm tall it is a floor-roaming robot, bigger and heavier than Loona and far larger than Vector, and it is fast at up to 1.5 m/s. The maker calls it semi-autonomous, since it mostly moves when called or steered. The catch is the $799 price, no SDK and no self-docking, and its FAQ says both that user data stays offline and that it is stored on US-based AWS servers.
A pricey, chatty kids' companion with real memory, not a robot to program.
